Silence.

What does silence mean to you? In my opinion, silence can mean several different things. For me silence usually depends on the place, sometimes the mood. When I am sitting at home by myself silence can be soothing, calming, and just what I needed to get back in touch with myself. It can also mean that a psycho-crazy clown is lurking around the corner just waiting for me to hop out of my cozy bed so he has a better chance at terrorizing me (what can I say, vivid imagination). I've learned that for the most part I like silence. It gives me time to think. Time to assess my feelings and thoughts that I've had throughout the day. But I know plenty of people who cannot stand silence. To them it symbolizes loneliness. But I don't necessarily see it that way. At the same time I think that silence can mean being comfortable with yourself.

I guess silence is in the ear of the beholder.
